There are now 4 volumes released. This is not just another commentary but rather one that brings additional insights to the multitude of same-old-same-old academic commentaries. It's Amazon blurb:
In the spirit of Ludolph of Saxony (c. 1295–1378) and Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556), The Fourfold Gospel invites the reader into the mystery of God’s redemption in Jesus Christ. All the parallel passages in the Gospels are glossed together, along with the unique material, using a medieval interpretive approach called the Quadriga or the acronym PaRDeS in Hebrew. Meditating on the literal, canonical, moral, and theological senses of Scripture offers a scaffolding for the spiritual formation of the reader. This volume, in addition to a thorough introduction to the method and the Gospels, focuses on the beginning of the story—the birth, baptism, and temptations of Christ.
This commentary is heavily influenced by and frequently quote early Christian authors while covering succinctly many of the exegetical concerns of modern scholarship.
